How to use Alfred to create functions?

[kimillian]

For example, I want to type in "daystoday 20200113" to pass the result of the days between 20200103 and today. How should I do that?

@kimillian Do you need to see the output in Alfred? Or just results in any way? Because you can easily make a web search workflow with the keyword "daystoday" and a web search that opens Google with "how many days since {query}".

 

That way you can enter your date in any format, as Google accepts "20200103", "3rd Jan 2020", "last Friday", or any particular event like "Christmas", etc.

 

In fact, you could duplicate that set of objects and create another one looking ahead "how many days until..."  

 

You can grab the workflow here:
